Cartwright, Edmund (1743–1823). Inventor. A younger brother of John Cartwright, the parliamentary reformer, who also had a taste for inventing, Edmund Cartwright was an Anglican clergyman and from 1779 held the living of Goadby Marwood (Leics.). In 1785 he patented a loom driven by water, which he developed later in a factory near Doncaster. In 1789 he invented a wool-combing machine, which saved labour and caused great agitation among the workers. Cartwright was obliged to abandon his own factory, but his inventions were widely adopted, and in 1809 he was awarded a grant of £10,000 by Parliament.

If, as his admirers insist, Justin Cartwright is among the finest contemporary British novelists, then that explains a lot about the current vapid state of English fiction. Indeed, while aspiring to highbrow insights, South African-born Cartwright only succeeds in peddling high-flown twaddle.
